“Not even coming hark to
Clayton—with m-1” In? asked
ironically.
Patricia returned hi. gaze
ttp.idily.
That's different she said
“There's somethin, about this
letter that makes me feed as
if i hr, really wanted—as if she
really tares what becoirn * of
! me-"
“I see; and you mean that
I didn’t make yc-u feel like
that ?"
She diil not answer, muT he
turned to the door,
“I may still eoine and see
you sometimes, ! suppose?" he
usked, looking back at her.
“If you care to," said Pa
trieia. -“You have been very
kind; thank you very much—
1 don’t deserve that you should
have heen so kind to me at all,
I know."
lie hesitated a moment, then
be came back and took one of
ner hands in a hard grip.
“If I had asked you to
marry me this evening for the
good, old-fashioned reason," he
>aid. “because I loved you. and
could not be happy without
you, what would your answer
have been?"
She tried lo look away from
him, but hi 4 eyes compelled
her, and her heart was beating
so fast that it seemed to be
ahoking her. Then she forced
herself to smile.
“I don’t think that you’re
the sort of man who would
ever find it impossible to he
happy without any woman,
are you?"
Michael’s face hardened; he
turned away.
“I hope not," he said almost
roughly. “I’ve other things to
do with my life."
CHAPTER IX
Michael went out into the
night feeling angry and
ruffled. Her complexity irri
tated him. He walked away
with angry strides and had just
reached the corner of the road
when a hand was laid on his
arm, and, turning sharply,
Michael looked into Bernard
Chcsney's white face.
“I saw you at Marnio's with
Patricia; 1 followed you
home,” Chesncy explained
hoarsely, llis eves loked their
fury into Michael’s. ‘‘I suppose
you think you’ve been clever
— lying to me and keeping her
to yourself. But you can’t do
it any longer; I’ve found her,
and nothing von can say or do
will keep me away from her.”
Michael shoo! his friend’s
hand away; this encounter was
the last thing he wa: in the
mood meet; he did hot really
care at all that Cluvney had
found Patricia; in his heart In
did not believe that anything
Chcsney could sav or do would
have any weight with her, bur
his own sense of implication
irritated him.
“Do what you like, only
don't come pestering me.” he
sad shortly. “You know where
she is living—go and call by
ail means. The bell doesn't
ring, but if you knock long
enough you’ll be let in, I dare
say*”
And he strode off and dis
nj poured into the darkness.
Chcsney stood looking after
him uncertainly; lie had waited
np ami down for half an hour
for Michael to leave Mrs.
l iinnaean's and he was burn
ing with jealousy.
How !o r bad Michael known
w! >to Petrie in was? And why
did lie allow her to live in such
a n i rl'b.ifboa ], he asked him
s1indignantly.
Y; c bos' was but a poor best
f< r Petri' i s. to his way of
thinking. How dared Mieluvl
allow her to be in sn *!i squalid
surroundings.
He looked at bis watch in the
light of th > stre *t lamp -not
yet half past nine—not too late
to call and see her.

“You've always pretended

it worth while, to take her |
away from me, and keep me j
from ever seeing her again.” |
He stopped and looked at i
Michael with furious eyes. “Is
that what it is? lie demanded,
chokingly. “Are you going to
marry her yourself?”
Michael turned in liis chair !
r.nd looked up at his friend
with a frwn.
“1 most certainly am not!”
he said emphatically. “My i
dear chap, if you don’t believe
me, ask Patricia vourself. j
She’ll tell you.”
Chesney answered stormily
that he did not believe any
body. He considered that he
had been treated abominably;
made a complete fool of.
Michael yawned.
“Oh, shut up!” he said,
irritably. “Don’t come here
and treat me to all these
heroics. You know where she
is; you’ve seen uer, and you
can see her every day of your
life for the next forty years for

Chesney looked at him with
sulky suspicion.

always were deep- I believe you
always have cared for her, and
that you’re saying all this be

Michael took up a paper.

“Very well, then,” he said,

Michael read on steadily.

Michael said he was sure she
had, and gave her a sovereign
Three days later a letter came
from Patricia.
Tt was written from hoi
mother’s, and seemed a little
depressed, he thought, as he
eagerly read its contents.
,11 began “Dear Mr. Uolf,” and
in it she told hint that she was
quite comfortably settled and
that he need no longer worry
about her.
“1 wish I had thought about
coming here sooner, nobody
could be kinder to he than Mrs
Smith is. She could not do more
for me if she were my own
mother.”
Michael smiled as he read the
words.
Already he was vaguely
jealous of Mis. Smith, lie could
have found it in his heart to
wish that she was out making
Potricia quite so comfortable
Patricia added: “I give von
my address in case you might
want it.—Your sincerely, Pa
tricia Rolf.”
Michael wrote a reply at
once. He said he was glad that
she was happy and that he had
heard Chesney had been to see
her- He himself was very busy
and more out of devilment than
because it was the truth, he
added that he was going to
dine at the Shackles the fol
lowing night.
He had had no intention ol
going though he had been
asked, but the evening hung sc
intolarably long upon his
hands and everything seemed
better than his own company,
so at the last moment he de
cided that he would go. The
Shackles gave him a royal re
ception. Efiie was looking her
best, and did her utmost to
arouse him. She asked after Pa
tricia with every appearance of
affection and hoped that obey
would soon meet again.
Michael thought it extremely
unlikely, but did not say so
The whole evening bored him
lie kept thinking of Patricia
and tlie little eozy room at
Kensington and wondering why
he had been such a senseless
fool as to agree to stay away
merely because Chesney had
asked him to do so.
He left the Shackles early
and went back 1o his rooms and
there he found a telegram
awaiting him that had beer,
there some hours.
It had been sent off from
Kensington and was signed by
Patricia’s mother.
“Can you come at once?

Something had happened tr
Patricia. The thought tore at
